Excerpted fromEO-History: The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther and goes much deeper than anyone realizes.

Editor’s note: This is a reprint of an article written by Dan Calabrese in 2008 for the North Star Writers Group, when Hillary was running for president, Calabrese interviewed two staff members of the House Judiciary Committee who were involved with the Watergate investigation when Hillary was a low-level staffer there. Clinton’s arrogance is still obvious today as the Benghazi Scandal shows.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

Because she was a liar, Zeifman said in an interview two weeks ago. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.

How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.

Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.

The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.

The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.

As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer, Zeifman said.

The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do? Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public, Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceedings as if the Douglas case had never occurred. The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.

Google or Bing it, you poor misinformed Democrat dupe. There’s a lot out there written by “mainstream” press on this subject. It’s just that, the majority of the media has been and is in the ‘tank’ to the Left in this country we hear or see so little about this stuff.
Wake up!

IANAL

I did google it. The very first hit was Alex Jones’ crazy conspiracy site infowars. All of the other links were the usual circle jerk of tea batty conjecture sites, each one feeding each other with one bit of wing nut conspiracy theories after another crack pot conspiracy theories. The reason that the “mainstream” press cannot run with stories like this is that some of them feel a moral obligation to retain their dignity and value accuracy over sensationalism — traits that you abhor.

So you Goggled it? You need to learn how to use the Internet and start going further than the obvious. As with so many left wing apologists, you see only enough to justify your unfortunate beliefs.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

IANAL

Listen, it was quite obvious that you did not write the article yourself. You blindly copied and pasted yet another wacky conspiracy theory. You did not independently verify any of the facts of the article. You simply reposted what you were told to repost, copying the Alex Jones article line for line. You did not even bother to change the headline.

So, you are going to begrudge me that I find your fanciful tale humorous and I am not gullible enough to believe something from a man that thinks Barack Obama has a tornado gun and is causing all of the tornadoes in Oklahoma?

This is not quite unremarkable coming from you. Why, not a week goes by that at least one of your stories on the front page is debunked at snopes.

lildebrarae

‘Listen’ …Watergate happened BEFORE AlexJones ever had Infowars.

Do ‘try’ to keep up.

IANAL

OK, and this has what to do with the article? Yes, the one fact that is correct in the article is that there was a Watergate.
Do ‘try’ to keep up.

lildebrarae

It also states that Hilliary YOUR CHAMPION was fired for LYING.

So much for you.

“Do ‘try’ to keep up.”

lildebrarae

Fact is …that the article is about Hilliary Clinton’s conduct that led to her being ‘fired’ in the first place.

Do ‘try’ to keep up.

IANAL

And, yet, the only “source” of this information is Zeifman. If Clinton did act in the manner that warrants censure, why didn’t Zeifman report her to the bar?
So, no….Zeifman’s statements speaks volumes on Zeifman. And the willingness of the editor and your willingness to perpetuate unsubstantiated rumours speaks volumes to both of yours gullibility. The editor has a track record of gullibility, posting dozens of stories debunked by Snopes. But, you are new to this, and starting your own track record of gullibility. Job well done.
Do ‘try’ to keep up. And stop being so naive.

This is the last time I am going to do this; Reply to your weak attempts to question anything and everything that sheds a spotlight on the left wing in our government.
DIG DEEPER into the Internet and you will find sources other than Alex Jones. Do not, as you Progressive, left winger apologists always try to do and attack a respected man like Mr. Zeifman. You show your narrow mindness.

IANAL

OK…..show me a secondary source to Zeifman. I cannot find it on the internet because only Zeifman is making the claims decades after the eventers purportedly happened. If he truly believed the new-found characterization of Hillary back then, he should have reported her to the bar. Since he had not, we only have innuendo. Try to do better. Regurgitating innuendo only demonstrates your partisan blind spot and narrow mindedness.

RickLogic

Whether there are “sources” other than Alex Jones that have done a copy/paste of the same single original claim by “Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat” is irrelevant.

A single claim, unsubstantiated by verifiable fact, does not become better evidence because more paranoia blogs chose to copy/paste it.

Show us the contemporaneous written records. A letter of censure, a report to the bar, even a letter indicating termination for cause.

All you have is the word of one old guy who may have any number of reasons for lying himself.

Patricia

Snopes lost ALL credibility LONG time ago. Get current for heaven’s sake.

RickLogic

The fact that Snopes has been inconvenient to the right wing lie machine does not harm it credibility.

I do understand why people who enjoy recycling the right wing lie book find Snopes irritating.

RickLogic

I did Google it. Every version of the story goes back to a single claim by a single individual by the name of
“Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat”

You right wingers seem to imagine evidence gets stronger when it is copy/pasted by more paranoid right wing blogs.

And Yes, Alex Jones is one of the paranoia dealers who has copy/pasted this single individual’s claim.

I love your pathetic attempts at a personal attack, but the fact is you can’t post one link to prove that Jerry Zeifman lied.

So since you can’t … you scream about ‘right wingers’.

Typical, and pathetic.

lildebrarae

The fact that Hilliary Clinton was FIRED from the Watergate scandal was before Alex Jones had any popularity whatsoever. So much for ‘you’.

IANAL

You are attempting to make it sound like she was fired for some documented case of malfeasance, instead of the fact that everyone in the inquiry staff was let go when Nixon resigned. The staff was no longer needed because the purpose of their inquiry was rendered moot when Nixon resigned instead of facing impeachment hearings. So much for you.

It is amazing how the Left chooses to rewrite history to suit its sense of importance, isn’t it? Kinda of sad.

IANAAL

It’s amazing that you think that just because you call someone the left or just because you state that the person with the facts on his side is rewriting history, that I will not notice. Yes, it is kind of sad that you prey on the gullibility of your readers to not do basic fact-checking. I do not know if it is because you are willfully ignorant or you are promoting a toxic agenda that is fact-free and partisan.

RickLogic

EIC –

Show us the document that supports a claim that Hillary was terminated for cause.

All you have is one single story teller and your choice to accept his story as proof.

RickLogic

Where is your evidence she was “fired”? People leave jobs for lots of reasons so unless there is contemporaneous documentation that her exit was a termination for cause, all you have isone guys statement. The same guy who is the source for avey word ofthe story.

Contemporaneous documentation that her exit was a termination for cause? With the Clintons?! You gotta’ be kidding. People have died and have been the victims of vicious character assassination for even uttering what the article said. Hillary is the Dems only hope in 2016 and she’s going down like the Titanic!

CannedHeat

..for something that is documented in the Library of Congress.. you must be so far gone nothing would convince you. How does it smell that far up the progressive glands? Pull your head out and breathe the air of liberty and justice …read the Constitution to start.

You’re canned something, aren’t you.
Hillary Clinton is a two-faced opportunist who has done anything to stay in the limelight and retain a seat of power.
Every word in the article is fact…
So, take that!

CannedHeat

Why do you think I posted it? A moderator who cannot discern what a simple paragraph means? Especially, when it has collaborating facts! My God man…. your comprehension skills are severely lacking. Never would I give the Clinton’s an micro-ounce of praise.. there is nothing there to praise.

Spenserr

Neither Clinton can change their stripes… they are liars & deceivers

jackcandobutwont

Both bubba and hildabeast are redneck carpetbaggers…..liars and if the truth ever comes out…responsible for the deaths of dozens!~!

Since when did conservatives object to shielding a US President who attempted to assassinate the Marxist revolutionary dictator who ruled Cuba? When did this topsy-turvy world overtake normally sensible instincts of conservatives?

Hillary Clinton is an opportunist, a lair, a doormat to husband, Bill “Bubba” Clinton and his affairs while in the White House (and governor’s mansion) and does not deserve to run for the presidency of the United States. And, what’s with this ‘shielding’ of a president? Hillary tried to railroad Richard Nixon who was a much better president than “Bubba” was.

Danni Smith

hey anal, did you hear the rumor that hil said, “businesses don’t create jobs”? Just another rumor from the mill.

william kirby

Clintons lie better than any politician ever has! Remember Bill wavig his finger saying that he didn’t boink the fat brunette????? So sad to think that if Bill Clinton had guts and went after Bin Laden 9/11 may not have happend
